MINI introduces the Aceman, its first crossover model tailored for the premium small car segment, blending compact dimensions with ample interior space and an all-electric drive. Rooted in Sir Alec Issigonis’ vision of maximizing space within a minimal footprint, the Aceman merges modern electric propulsion with the timeless appeal of the classic Mini.
Its innovative design prioritizes comfort and digital integration while delivering the signature MINI go-kart feeling. Stefanie Wurst, Head of MINI, expresses excitement about the Iceman’s immersive digital experience, noting its perfect fit for urban navigation while retaining the versatility of a crossover. The sleek design, performance, and five-seater capacity promise a winning formula for success.
Externally, the Aceman exudes sporty agility and confidence, built on a fully electric platform. Despite its compact stature, measuring just under four meters, it accommodates five occupants and offers a flexible luggage compartment with up to 1,005 liters of capacity. With an expected range of up to 406 kilometers in the WLTP cycle, it promises emission-free mobility beyond city limits.
Embodying MINI’s new design ethos of “Charismatic Simplicity,” the Aceman presents a minimalist yet expressive exterior, emphasizing its progressive character. Striking LED headlights, streamlined surfaces, and athletic proportions define its modern appeal, while distinctive wheel designs and roof rails underscore its adventurous spirit.
Inside, the Aceman continues its purist design approach, blending contemporary elements with MINI’s heritage. A circular OLED display, reminiscent of classic Mini features, anchors the cockpit, offering intuitive control over driving functions. The spacious interior boasts comfortable seating, ample legroom, and a panoramic glass roof enhancing the sense of openness.
MINI’s Experience Modes increase the driving experience, projecting illuminated graphics onto the dashboard to match selected modes. The innovative MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant, activated by voice command, ensures seamless interaction with the vehicle’s features, while advanced assistance systems enhance safety and convenience.
In terms of customization, the Aceman offers four distinct trims, each reflecting a unique aesthetic and functionality. From the Essential Trim with its minimalist clarity to the JCW Trim, inspired by motorsports, there’s a configuration to suit every taste. Under the hood, the Aceman is powered solely by an electric drivetrain, delivering locally emission-free mobility.
With two variants available at launch, the Aceman E and the Aceman SE, boasting outputs of 184 hp and 218 hp, respectively, it offers spirited performance while maintaining efficiency. Sporty handling and outstanding dynamics characterize the Iceman’s driving experience, thanks to its precise chassis tuning and responsive electric powertrain.
With quick charging capabilities and intuitive connectivity features, including remote charging management via the MINI App, it ensures a seamless ownership experience. The MINI Aceman represents a bold step towards an all-electric future, embodying MINI’s commitment to innovation, style, and driving enjoyment in the urban environment.
